Why this matters for digital sovereignty
IoT and embedded devices continuously collect sensor and usage data, and the EU Data Act now governs who can access that data and how portable it is. Check whether the manufacturer supports data portability, where cloud processing happens, and whether the device still works without that cloud connection.
